It’s been a long time since I posted something... I’m really burned out from work, having lack of sleep, and severely suffering from Artist Block. Even the fashion Richard and Sigrid are wearing are off-season... (it’s Fall now, but still feels like Summer) - This was a quick #charactersheet made using the new mini posing figures I bought from Amazon recently; the figures just happen to be the right height difference for these two (as well as Freyja and Faustuz), which is going to be a great help drawing OCs from now on. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #femalecharacter #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacterdesign

Granger Rodriguez in her Grim Reaper attire, heavily inspired by the Sugar Skull of Dia de Los Muertos and Spanish/Mexican clothing. — #autodesksketchbook #femalecharacter #originalcharacterart #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #halftone #blackandwhite #animestyle #mangastyle #hat #skull #mask #lace #woman #diadelosmuertos #grimreaper

Hr. Dr. Kasper dressed up as a Grim Reaper, or “Juanito” as his fellow grim reaper Granger Rodriguez calls him. 2nd Slide is a cute bonus (still doesn’t reveal whether if he’s right or left handed; Cedrick and Freyja are officially left-handed, while Faustuz appears to be right-handed in most pics but he’s equally flexible with both), and 3rd Slide is another version of his Grim Reaper attire. — I might be a little bit early for Halloween and Dia de Los Muertos to be drawing this...😅 But I love drawing creepy things from time to time... And in black and white too, which is technically digital ink work that could be ideal for Inktober this year... - I plan on drawing Granger in her grim reaper attire which will be heavily sugar skull inspired, as well as Cedrick with Frl. Flicka in her Hellhound form (she turns into a Hellhound only once a year around Halloween). — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #digitalillustration #digitalink #digitalinking #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #skullmask #grimreaper #blackandwhite #halftone #glasses #skull #hat #man #animestyle #mangastyle #diadelosmuertos

Pack 2. - Pack 3 would focus on mythical creatures, items, and other OCs (expecting to be the largest set of stickers). - I feel burned out, stuck, and uninspired lately...

From the Scrap Pile: Richard and Sigrid — #autodesksketchbook #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipaddrawing #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #man #woman #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart

Hr. Dr. Kasper’s mother Sigrid loved Rødgrød, especially when she was a child. Unfortunately, like most of his predecessors in the Kasper bloodline, he’s lactose intolerant (which is ironic considering the fact the region where they live is where the world’s favorite dairy cows comes from). This doesn’t stop his grandmother Aina from feeding him the sweet berry treat drizzled with lots of cream, constantly giving poor Johannes-Faustuz stomach aches until the day he discovers lactase pills. Despite bad childhood memories of eating it, Faustuz has created a dairy-alternative version for himself and his Cedrick to enjoy while being stuck in quarantine. — #autodesksketchbook #malecharacter #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #rødgrød #redporridge #rotegrütze #rodegrütt #boy

Richard vs. Johannes Faustuz at the same age (23). - I haven’t done a #charactersheet of these two guys together, especially since Richard would not be alive when his son was 23. Next one I probably should draw is either one comparing Cedrick with his father and grandfathers (Cedrick has been told he looks just like Richard or a younger Erik) when they were his age (14-15), or Sigrid vs. Johannes Faustuz to show how much he takes after her (of the two, Faustuz really looks more like his mother but with his father’s coloring - especially with his hair long). These can be a lot of fun to draw when looking at fashion over time and making sure some slight details are showing (Faustuz has the same hairline as his mother, Richard’s nose is slightly upturned, etc.) — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #malecharacter #malecharacters #originalcharacterart #originalcharacter #originalcharacters #autodesksketchbook #characterdesign #fatherandson #fatherson

1961: Heinrich “Ricky” and his little brother Richard “Dickie”. (Slide 4: The Kasper Brothers c. 1979) - 1961 was the year when their mother Ida left the family for a younger American soldier; since then, Olaf grew more cruel and strict with the boys, especially with Richard - the son he believed to be the reason why his wife ran away. Heinrich, as the older and favorite child, tries his best to keep his rambunctious brother out of trouble while lessening the pain of loosing their mother and father’s constant criticism. The brothers were close despite their 5 year age gap and opposing personalities, often seen together playing football/soccer and drinking beer as they grew older into adulthood. Heinrich has always been stoic, quiet, and serious while Richard was the more outgoing, hot-tempered, but very intelligent brother. Their relationship was often strained when Heinrich gave up his duty of the family heir for love when he married a foreign woman, forcing the carefree Richard to take up the rigid work his brother left behind; but with the birth of his nephew Hansel and niece Hannah, Richard’s anger cooled enough to continue being the supportive younger brother. Heinrich (like most of the other family) was initially not fond of Richard’s decision to marry Sigrid, even more so when it was revealed that she was only a teenager and had a life curse; but after meeting the girl, he was quite impressed with her sharp wit and her strong will to live despite having a shortened lifespan (he enjoyed playing chess with her, discussing current events, and admired her gardening skills). Like Richard, Heinrich was deeply affected by Sigrid’s death after giving birth to the next family heir; in the remaining months of Richard’s life, Heinrich made efforts to assist his brother in taking care of his work and son. Heinrich then makes the decision to pick up Johannes Faustuz from Africa and raise him alongside his own children, much to his wife Yoko’s disapproval of raising another child with their limited resources. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #ipaddrawing #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #brothers #soccerball

Room No. 13 - This suite is where Richard stays as his second home away from Kiel, located in Copenhagen and owned by distant relatives of the Kasper Family (Olaf’s cousin Erna and her son Dagfinnr). The hotel is also walking distance from Sigrid’s home/Aina’s flower shop, making it a convenient location for Richard and Sigrid to hide away from disapproving eyes - mainly her schoolmates and teachers (today people would be really concerned if a 16-year-old girl was dating a 23-year-old guy, but in 1980... probably just a shrug from most [large age gaps were more common in the past], but definitely a closer look from people who don’t understand their unique relationship; Sigrid was immediately expelled from school when her secret marriage was revealed, despite skipping a grade and having top scores; as a Kasper, she was able to finish her education at home). — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #ipaddrawing #autodesksketchbook #animestyle #originalcharacters #malecharacter #femalecharacter #couple #hotelroom #bed #intimatemoment #pixaloop

From the “Scrap Pile”: The Kasper Siblings: Hansel, Hannah, and Johannes Faustuz. - Hansel and Hannah never were close with Faustuz due to their large age gap (8 years and 6 years respectively), and thought of him as the reason of their beloved “Auntie Sigrid’s” death when he was born; this gets compounded when Richard dies almost a year later from being overwhelmed with illness, raising a son on his own, and work abroad in Africa as an Epidemiologist. Even Faustuz’s physical appearance alienated him from his older cousins since he’s not half Japanese like they are, making people question whether if he’s a result of an affair when he’s the orphaned son of their father’s younger brother (making his relationship with his aunt Yoko complicated). All these factors put a strain on their relationship as siblings. But after the death of Heinrich in 1992, Hansel and Hannah slowly grew to accept their younger cousin and enjoy his presence since he reminds them of their father - especially when he becomes an adult and takes after Heinrich’s no-nonsense mindset (as well as Sigrid’s kindness and Richard’s devotion). Because he’s tall and blond like Heinrich, occasionally Hansel and Hannah get the feels and have the urge to hug Faustuz out of nostalgia for their father. Whenever Faustuz returns to Kiel and works at the hospital performing surgery, he’s accompanied with his oldest cousin Hansel as his nurse (Hannah owns restaurants around the world and Yoko still works as a librarian with Hansel’s oldest daughter Evangeline; there’s more distant relatives in the Kasper Family who’ll be mentioned whenever). — #digitalart #autodesksketchbook #digitaldrawing #originalcharacterart #malecharacters #femalecharacter #siblings #family #frauv8_ocs

Crazy what a difference a year can be... - After a long shift at work at the hospital, Tyrone and Johannes Faustuz would often hit the bar for a beer or two to relax. Since COVID-19 hit, the two can no longer hangout with Tyrone still working at the hospital and Faustuz indefinitely furloughed (now working at home as a substitute professor). But timed right, Tyrone and Faustuz find a moment to share a toast and chat online. - •Side Note: TBH, I kinda envy my OCs because I don’t have close friends; since leaving school and other factors (I’d rather not mention out loud), I’ve lost contact with past friends and pen pals over the years, only having immediate family, my husband, and coworkers to keep me company (in other words, I’ve been living the quarantine life even before it was a thing, lol). So drawing and interacting with others on IG are integral to keeping the mind off the loneliness and boredom during this tough time; if I can entertain and inspire others here, then my work is worth it. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #malecharacters #friends #originalcharacters #comic #animestyle #2019vs2020

Stern the Amabie and Klimt the Norwegian Forest Cat on another desk set up in “The Doghouse “. - Klimt loves drinking out of his master’s favorite coffee mug, especially when there’s water or coffee in it (not so much if there’s beer in it; not saying if Hr. Dr. Kasper drinks on the job 🥴). Sometimes he’ll even drink out of Stern’s fishbowl when he’s thirsty. Either way, Hr. Dr. Kasper doesn’t approve and does his best to keep Klimt off the desk for the next several hours while he’s on Zoom, or else Klimt will get sick from drinking too much coffee and prompt an appointment to the family vet. — #digitalart #digitaldrawing #autodesksketchbook #pets #cat #frauv8_ocs

I ended up making both colored and black & white versions. Animated too.🙃 — Richard giving Sigrid his mother’s black crystal skull necklace. - His mother Ida never wore it and left it behind in Richard’s room when she left the family for a younger lover, rejecting her role as matriarch of the Kasper estate; the necklace makes Sigrid the new lady in charge. — The Kasper Family’s emblem is a black skull. Being connected with Death, recruited over the centuries to kill rogue monsters (and occasionally humans), and hired by questionable people to provide knowledge of the occult, the black skull is an appropriate symbol of the family’s dark history and a physical reminder of what happens to anything/anyone that crosses their path. It’s also the nickname for the current patriarch of the Kasper estate (Olaf Kasper, who’s still alive). - A necklace with a hand-carved black crystal skull is the Kasper heir’s ultimate symbol of love, swearing his unconditional devotion until Death separates him from his partner. —— #digitaldrawing #digitalart #ipaddrawing #ipadprodrawing #ipadart #autodesksketchbook #pixaloop #animation #originalcharacters #originalcharacterart #femalecharacter #malecharacter #couple #mangastyle #animestyle #frauv8_ocs
